Open-source software inspired by Plan 9

About Kryon Labs

Kryon Labs develops open-source software inspired by the Plan 9 operating system philosophy. We believe that everything is a file — and that simple, composable protocols like 9P enable elegant distributed computing.

Our mission is to bring Plan 9's core ideas — the 9P protocol, synthetic filesystems, and namespace-based isolation — to modern systems. We build portable libraries, window managers, emulators, and applications that embrace "the Unix way" taken to its logical conclusion.

Core

Mu →

Portable microkernel with 9P2000 server, authentication, service registry, CPU server, and graphics devices.

sys →

Plan 9 development environment. C toolchain (compilers, assemblers, linkers), mk build system, and lib9 library providing Plan 9 C API.

Desktop

TK →

Toolkit with synthetic UI filesystem. Widget rendering, event handling, layout management, and complete UI component library.

WM →

Window Manager with bind mount namespaces for per-window isolation. Integrates with Mu for graphics.

emu →

Shell and display emulation layer for running TaijiOS across different platforms.

Languages

uxn9 →

Native UXN emulator for Plan 9. Implements the core UXN virtual machine and system devices.

lu9 →

Native Lua 5.4 interpreter for Plan 9 with complete Plan 9 system library and LPeg pattern matching support.

Applications

appl →

Applications for TaijiOS including binaural beats generator, habits tracker, and more.

Lotus →

Personal OS for Varvara with zen-like focus. Includes Inbe guided Wim Hof breathing app.

AXON →

File-based AI encyclopedia with multi-mind fact extraction. Knowledge base exposed via 9P filesystem with transparent reasoning and Plan 9-style inbox processing.

usr →

User-space utilities, configurations, and website content.

Meta

TaijiOS →

Meta repository combining Marrow, Kryon, AXON, and other modules into a complete operating system.
